Donald Trump Suggests Apple Chairman Tim Cook as Potential Successor to Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang
Following the sudden resignation of Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, U.S. President Donald Trump has publicly suggested that Apple Executive Chairman Tim Cook should take over the leadership role at Nvidia. In a post on Truth Social, Trump characterized the potential move as one 'legend' replacing another. This suggestion follows similar commentary from Jeffrey Sonnenfeld of the Yale School of Management, who noted Cook's proven ability to manage transitions following the departure of iconic founders. While Cook stepped down as Apple CEO in September 2026, he remains deeply involved with the company's board and international relations. Nvidia currently has Colette Kress serving as interim replacement.
